ROTATED PLASTER
This is a material experiment with plaster. In this experiment I started experimenting with rotational molding in combination with plaster and at first purr. Purr is not liquid enough to rotate, so I continued with plaster. I wanted to create hollow plaster shapes. For this I built my own manual rotary machine. The mold is made of iron wire tread and balloons. The plaster is poured into the balloons, while rotating it for a while there emerge hollow plaster shapes. Every shape is unique due to how the balloon is formed in the frame. The final results were interesting fragile forms. These were too vulnerable to process into a product. For this I poured an extra layer of epoxy inside the plaster shapes which resulted in strong waterproof shapes. A possible product made out of this experiment could be a vase.
